Care to answer some Pens/Flyers series-related questions?

Question

1) Haha, Flyers fans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6saCy2HWpiw

Should NHL players ignore fans at all times or, as long as no one is physically harmed, should the fans expect to get it back if they dish it out?

2) The Flyers altered lines:

Which line could be more effective? Briere's or Prospal's?

3) Does this scare you?: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/photo?slug=92a38c2a6401433ebd706ce7575f3e51.penguins_practice_hockey__pagp101&prov=ap

4) Heard of "The Sports Moustache Society"? Apparently they're upset with Sidney Crosby: http://sports.sympatico.msn.ca/Sidney+Crosbys+facial+follicle+follies/Home/5Hole_ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&newsitemid=53fa8039-b6e5-4b0f-800e-804646d00363&feedname=The_5_Hole&show=True&number=10&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=True

5) Speaking of Sid: http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1055132.html

To be honest, I don't want your thoughts on that. LOL. I'm just passing along the news. :P

Answer 1

1) I think players should be allowed to talk trash to fans..but thats it.

2) Briere's line

3) A TON.

4) LOL, they should be. he cant even grower a good stache.

5) wow lmao, where do u find all of these articles?!

Answer 2

1) i mean, i think a little pull of the leg is fine. but if they start throwing stuff at the players.. or if a player throws a stick at them - THAT's wrong.

2) Doesn't matter what they do.. Their own MEDIA isn't even behind them anymore.

3) No. Seeing his legs aren't anything new to me. I have a picture saved on my computer of him doing yoga in spandex shorts.

4) I'm fairly sick of seeing comments about his moustache... There are better things to talk about than that... i mean, it doesn't change his skills..

5) That's an accomplishment.

Answer 3

1. well i did not see any beer bottles

2. both will benifet

3. that boy should go play for florida and get some sun

4. that was great....Thanks for that Erica

Answer 4

1) Personally, I think they should ignore them but I don't see what the Pens did as being any type of big deal.  The only potential problem would have been if another Domi situation had arisen where the glass gave in.  The fans would have had a small amount of "they taunted me" ammo.

2) I think the Flyers get 3 points out of the Prospal line tonight and 2 points out of the Briere line but they both play well.

3) Not really, I have done that wearing far less clothing than Malkin.

4) lol, vote for Pedro!!

5) I don't know about this one, I think they are jumping the gun a little bit.  If he should take a career ending knee injury early in the first period of tonight's game (knock wood), does he still deserve the honor?  Is he helping with the expense of building the rink?

6) Roberts is out because of pollen?  Has the Penguins medical staff ever heard of Claratin or Alleve?

EDIT: Now I feel like a jerk.  Roberts problems are far more serious than seasonal allergies and I wish him the best.

Erica: Sorry, I phrased that incorrectly.  I should have said 3 goals and 2 goals respectively.  Add in RJ's one or two and the Flyers will be alright tonight.

Answer 5

1. If no one is harmed, let the fans get it back.

2. I bet Briere's.

3. LMAO! He has a large nose.....and short shorts? Is he trying to be a s**t?...Someone get him some longer pants!

4. Lol.

5. Oh dear lord.......

6. I already brought up a question concerning Gary....or more of a 'Nooooooo!' lol. I hope he get's his bad @ss out on the ice again before the end of the playoffs.

Answer 6

1. I think the players should skate directly into the locker room. However, when you see laraque and ruutu are the only immature ones doing this, you understand why. I hate Philly very bad, but if I was a professional, I would act like one.

2. Philly needs a shake up to try and get briere going, hopefully it doesn't work, so i'll say prospal's. keep briere quiet.

3. Yes, what is he doing????

4. Completly untrue

5. sounds great

Answer 7

1) If they dish it out. They should get it back

2)Prospal's line has a shot to be more productive  

3)No. Not really. Nice gams. But is it me or does malkin look like Ted Nolan in that pic?

4)First I am hearing of it. Hey the kid is trying. LOL

5) OK Thanks for sharing Erica. LOL

Answer 8

Some observations in no particular order:

I would like to say for you Erica that I hope your team makes you happy with the winning of the series and the Stanley Cup. But.....

You do realize, however, that the Flyers are going to win 4 straight, one game at a time.

Actually, we are to blame for the pollen. See, we have a ton of relatives living west of Pittsburgh and we secretly persuaded them all to mow their lawns by a quarter inch each day. The prevailing winds carried the pollen eastward over Pittsburgh and.....well, need I go on?

Either that or it could just be the smog from Cleveland.

If the Pens were to somehow miraculously survive this series and extend the Red Wings to seven games, poor Sid the Kid will have to shave that.....that, uhm, beard of his at the height of its proliferation.

There have been so many egregious bandwagon fans here that I still might root for the Red Wings if the Pens don't do another choke job like they did against the Isles a few lifetimes ago.

;)

Oh yeah, it think this is why Coburn ain't playing tonight.....http://strangecosmos.com/content/item/13...

Answer 9

1. LOL! Thanks for sharing, I loved what Laraque did, and Malkin says "how does it feel baby.." hahahahaha

Those fans are so immature shouting out "g*y"!

2. Briere's line.

3. Try's to erase image out of mind & get better image..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsonvgEQC...

4. Who can be upset with Crosby? honestly.

5. Nice!

Answer 10

1) Is that Joe in the forefront? LOL..........It's all good fun.....I like Georges, he's funny. It's all good until someone loses an eye.

2)....Briere's....it has Richards!! The best of any of them.

3) YIKES!!! Looks like the guy from the "Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics...." only with unitards on. SCARED and SCARRED.

4. Leave Sid alone. Parros gave him props on OTR yesterday.

5. Hey....that's my local rag....my local councillor too.....and my home arena........Erica, at the World Championships at the Metro Centre, they had booth displays set up.....for instance, there was was one for Team Canada, had all their jerseys from over the years, signed jerseys of the current team etc..... right NEXT TO IT......a display JUST OF CROSBY....about the same size.....all his former team jerseys, signed stuff etc............CROSBY MANIA....and he isn't even there playing. To be fair, it's his home I guess.

Answer 11

1. I love to see players give it back to the fans. It's the ultimate interactive experience many of them will ever have with an elite athlete. LOL

2. Briere's been shut down something fierce. The coach had to try something different, no?

3. Well, he using an Easton stick, so his NikeBauer rep is

probably scared...and pissed.

4. I told the kid's not right. He was 2 years old when Lanny retired. He even embellishes his childhood! No, Erica, I'm not over it yet. Maybe by the time camps open in September...

5. The town will be called "Sidney Crosby Place" if the NHL and/or RBK have anything to say about it. hehe

Good luck, tonight, E.

EDIT: ^^^^Man, what's with my grammar? I guess the very thought of Sid Whiskers gets me riled.

You are correct. Malkin is a Nike Bauer guy, as are the three NHL Staals. Eric and Jordan, however, use Easton sticks. They've both tried switching to the NBH sticks but have always gone back to Easton. Marc, on the other hand, hasn't had any issues with NBH sticks.

Anyways, Malkin was just goofing around on the ice and it looks like he was doing it with either Malone's or Ruutu's twig. That concludes the useless trivia portion of this evening's entertainment. Sorry to have bored you with it.

Your boys need some tallies. Another comeback from 0-3 down for the mighty Pens?

Answer 12

Wow, so much cool stuff!  The Flyers can shuffle all they want, the Pens will still win.  That pic of Malkin does scare me.  Sid can grow whatever he wants on his lip as long as he plays for us!  Go Pens!

Answer 13

1)Get it back

2)Briere's

3)Yes!!

4)No
